  • I am actively testing this out. It’s hard to say at the moment. There’s a lot to figure out deploying a model into a live environment, but I think there’s real value in using them for technical tasks - especially as models mature and improve over time.

    At the moment, though, performance is closer to GPT 3.5 than GPT 4, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is no longer the case within the next year or so.













  • OpenAI has launched a new initiative, Superalignment, aimed at guiding and controlling ultra-intelligent AI systems. Recognizing the imminent arrival of AI that surpasses human intellect, the project will dedicate significant resources to ensure these advanced systems act in accordance with human intent. It’s a crucial step in managing the transformative and potentially dangerous impact of superintelligent AI.

    I like to think this starts to explore interesting philosophical questions like human intent, consciousness, and the projection of will into systems that are far beyond our capabilities in raw processing power and input/output. What may happen from this intended alignment is yet to be seen, but I think we can all agree the last thing we want in these emerging intelligent machines is to do things we don’t want them to do.

    ‘Superalignment’ is OpenAI’s response in how to put up these safeguards. Whether or not this is the best method is to be determined.








  • FWIW, it’s a new term I am trying to coin in FOSS communities (Free, Open-Source Software communities). It’s a spin off of ‘FOSS’, but for AI.

    There’s literally nothing wrong with FOSS as an acronym, I just wanted to use one more focused in regards to AI tech to set the right expectations for everything shared in /c/FOSAI

    I felt it was a term worth coining given the varied requirements and dependancies AI/LLMs tend to have compared to typical FOSS stacks. Making this differentiation is important in some of the semantics these conversations carry.
